All Things Equal is an immersive installation exploring balance, equilibrium, and interconnectedness, created in response to Brighter Sound’s Manifesto for Gender Equality in Music. Premiering in Manchester on International Women’s Day, the piece was led by Rebecca from Urban Projections, working with electronic music producer Loraine James and award-winning Salford poet Princess Arinola Adegbite.

The installation takes audiences on a journey through states of balance and imbalance, mirroring the ongoing movement toward gender equality in the arts. It blends moments of calm and reflection with mechanical, shifting soundscapes that build and recede. Rebecca describes it as “a shift in equilibrium,” capturing both the tension and beauty of this collective rebalancing. Through sound, light, and poetry, visitors are immersed in an environment that is at once disorienting and meditative.

To bring this piece to life, Rebecca worked with volumetric light and spatial sound to create an atmosphere that envelops the audience. Using light as architecture, she transformed the space into a living, breathing environment—soft glows and sharp bursts of light moved in harmony with the electronic score and spoken word, reinforcing the themes of transformation and emergence.

Alongside this, Rebecca mentored four emerging female-identifying artists, guiding them as they expanded their practice into digital art and technology. Through workshops and hands-on collaboration, these artists gained skills and confidence in working with digital tools—helping to close the gender gap in creative technology.

Rebecca shares her hopes for the project’s impact:

“I hope we can inspire a new wave of female and non-binary artists to feel confident using technology to express themselves, and to know that their potential is unlimited.”

All Things Equal is a powerful call for equality and recognition—an experience that resonates through sound, light, and poetry, and a tribute to the strength found in unity and the pursuit of balance.
